That sounds stout enough, Dave. Does the bench hold the weight all the stuff you have on it? Is there anywhere left to set something down?Nice vice, but, I like my 6” Wilton bullet better, that’s mounted on a 24’ long work bench with a tabletop of (3) 4X12’s.
"Professional" means doing it for money. "Restored" can mean almost anything. Your quotation marks are appropriate, Rich.
LOL’s, I have maybe 1/sq ft of space on it…maybe. Sometimes no space. Never more than 2/sq ft. When I made the bench I called my wife and told her to look at it and remember how clean and not cluttered it was. Because it will never be the same again!!! It’s like a magnetic crap collector. Every time I turn around the bench has got more crap on it. I can’t figure it out? I think I will set-up a hidden camera to see how it happens.That sounds stout enough, Dave.

Mine is about the same. Strangely, in my house I do not allow "stuff" to collect on horizontal surfaces. Crammed in boxes and piled up in closets, yes. But in the shop, any recently cleared area (and I clear them off often) immediately fills up again...
Ya' know ... it's pretty likely that at least some of that crap is aluminum. So you might well have (unknowingly) invented the elusive "aluminum magnet"! Maybe you can get a federal research grant to finance a scientifical investigation
